What gets this team past this?

[Dragoon11]

Seems like this team cannot handle the spotlight, the pressure. Is there one thing, be it a player, a coach, etc.. What is needed most for this team to stop breaking our hearts? Is it just simply believing and trusting in each other? Panthers could certainly use a couple more pieces on defense. But what is it with this team? When everything is right in front of them they just seem to fold. Is it simply that they're just not ready?

No, it's that they're never going to be good for one reason or another. They've never going to have a winning season again, and it's for multiple factors: poor ownership, poor players and poor coaching are big, but the NFL also doesn't want nor need the Panthers to ever be a respectable outfit.

Ignore the other team's record 17 out of 17 games and take any win as if it's the Super Bowl, because no one will ever see this team have another winning season. This was our last shot at not losing 10+ until the mid-to-late 2040s.

Right but you need to have the right connections to get the refs to call the game favorably for your team and as far as getting players on other teams to comply with bribes, etc

Look where we were, look where we are. Just part of the process. Our roster still has holes, our coach is still learning, and we are young.

Learning to win is a process.

I wasn't being serious when I stated that. I don't buy into that notion at all

That’s cool. The NFL referees are a very powerful labor union and their contract is being renegotiated now. Wonder how that goes
